Unreadable in mobile safari. The text is jammed into one skinny column that's so tiny it can't even word wrap effectively. It breaks lines in the middle of words. How and why do people keep going out of their way to make websites unreadable on phones?

One hardly needs to go out of their way to make a page unreadable in one browser. Developing proper CSS to support cross-browser, mobile-friendly websites to this day still isn't common knowledge for all developers. And it's almost impossible for most people to test their site across different mobile platforms themselves.

For example, this website looks fine on my Windows phone. I'd have no idea his website had an issue if you hadn't mentioned it. If I had been particularly impressed by the way his site looked, I might have been tempted to borrow his CSS and propagate the problem without realizing the problem was there.

I wish people would simply not bother being mobile friendly if they can't do it right. I have no trouble reading desktop oriented sites on my phone. Maybe it's cumbersome, but at least I can zoom and pan. It's only when people dick around with fixed viewports and disabled zoom that I have issues.
